About PUNCH-NFI00
PUNCH-NFI00 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Mar 12, 2025 from Air Force Western Test Range.
It circles Earth every 98 minutes (14.7 times a day), between 637 and 654 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 82° north and south.
The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.

Orbit height over the past year
Over the last 13 days its lowest point went from 637 km to 637 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
From Space-Track element sets, one point a day.
